Chronic Rheumatism Cared.

Swift's Specific cured me of chronic rheu-
matism which had troubled me for fifteen
years. l had taken every kind of medicine
nearly that is advertised for rheumatism, but
none did me near so much good as S. S. S.
Last spring 1 took about half dozen large bot
ties, and from that day l have not been trou-
bled with rheumatism. My appetite was i'm
proved by the medicine and my digestion
strengthened. s.. S. S. is one of the best
blood medicines in the world.
Yours gratefully, Ut. BATS.

A Marvellous Cure of Cancer.
My wife has been down two years with an
abscess in her side. Last December she com
menced using S. s. S. When she began its
use she was nothing but a skeleton, had no
appetite and was feeling weak and very mis-
cradle. To-day she is a new woman. Her
| appetite is good, her spirits revived. She is
as stout as she was before she was taken sick
two years ago. She can eat anything, and
she to-day thinks s. S. S. the greatest medi-
cine on earth. 1t has simply lifted her from
a two years sick bed, put flesh on her bones
and life in her heart.
Yours gratefully, j. T. BATS.

The above E~ye-glass, invented by the
JohnStono Pt1ca 90.
of Detroit, Mich, combines the best features
of all others.
LIST. The lenses can be placed far enough
away that the eye-lashes will not touch them,
a thing not always easy to do with other eye
glasses.
End. The guards are set so as to clasp the
nose back upder eyebrows which prevents
slipping and falling off.
3rd. The pressure is on the feshy part of
the nose above the bone, which prevents ir-
r~itation.
4th. The lever feature secures its perfect
adjustment to the nose whether large CIR small.
9Th. The lenses are set at right angles to
line of vision.
9th. They can be worn safely without cord
or chain as there is no danger of falling off.
7th. We warrant them to be the easiest
eye-glass in the market.

The time has now arrived when far

by vendors of patent fences, potato dig
gers, hay forks, and confidence men in

are trying to live by their wits. We
would say to farmers that all of the
conveniences desirable can be had of
reliable dealers in your WI county,
that it is vastly better to deal with these
than with strangers, and would especi-
ally warn you to beware of things of a
doubtful utility. When you are called
on by representatives of your home
firms you can depend upon being fairly
dealt with, and if there should be any
misunderstanding you can have the
matter satisfactorily settled. But have
nothing to do with strangers.

SILOS AND ENSlLAGE.
Practical Description of the New Method o
Preserving Green Fodder.

Practical Description of the New Method of
Preserving Green Fodder.
Ensilage is -a-system OF preserving
green fodder for cattle during the win
ter MONTHS system that is manifestly
of great benefit to cattle.
It is accomplished by taking green
fodder-say c~orn-cutting it up in fine
pieces and preserving it from all con-
tact with air until wanted for feed.
The chopped fodder is called ensilage.
and it is preserved in a building called
a silo.
A practical silo can be made by ex-
cavating to a depth of six feet and add
ing II top of six feet in height. The
bottom and the sides to the height of
nine feet should be built of stone and
plastered smooth. The bottom should
be cemented like a cistern.
Cement may be substituted for plas-
ter on the walls if the ground is par
ticularly damp, as all moisture must be
excluded. The silo should be eight
feet wide and twelve feet long.
A silo of this size will contain 864
cubic feet of ensilage, or about TWEEN
ty tons of feed. The frame por-
ton of the building above the walls
must be made of matched and surfaced
| boards, and well put together.
| Such a silo can be best filled with
| fodder corn. The corn should be cut
when the ears are in about that state
best adapted for roasting ears" 1t
| should be run through a fodder cutter
and cut into pieces about half an inch
| long. As it is passed into the silo,
| boys or men trample it down into the
! closest space. When filled to the top. a
thick layer of builders felt is placed
| on the ensilage. This, in turn, is
covered with six inches of straw. On
the straw plank fitted to fill the space
are laid, and then weighted with stone
about 100 pounds to the square foot.
Thus prepared the ensilage will remain
sweet and unfermented during the
entire winter.
The cost of such a silo is about fifty
dollars.
When opened to feed the cattle, the
top, two inches, will be found to be
spoiled. Below this it can be cut into
with a hay knife and used as needed.
The boards and pressure should be re-
newed every evening, and the felt,
boards, and stones should be placed
upon the silo while it is being filled
after each days work. Cattle will moi
like the food at first, but will 500 rel.
ish it and eat it with extreme avidity,
Stock, if cows, so fed-say thirty
pounds twice a day for each animal
having. of course, their ordinary grain
feed, will give one-third more milk and
butter than with dry feed. In fatten'
ing cattle ensilage will save about ter
pounds of col in making the sam.

VITALITY OE SEEDS.
Reliable Information for Farmers Engaged
in Misunderstanding.


in Misunderstanding.
There is a general misrepresentation
as to the length of time during which
seeds retain their vitality. There is
also a general feeling, equally I'M
grounded, that seedsmen send out old
seeds that will not grow. Some 'bo1
seedsmen'' firms, who put up seeds to
be peddled out in the country, may do
SO; but those in the regular trade send
out no seed that will not grow if given
the proper conditions for termination.
A case in point will illustrate:
A lady Of our acquaintance COM
planned that seeds of celery were bad.
She knew it, for did she not plant them
as deep as the width Of her hand-a
pretty broad one-to get them in moist
earth? Is it any wonder that they did
not growP Minute seeds, like celery,
must be sown not more than an eight
of an inch deep to insure termination.
As a rule the fault is more often that of
the planter than the seedsmen.
The practical rule is that seeds should
not be planted more than four times
their diameter in depth. 1t is a safe
| rule to follow. Another safe rule is to
press fine earth closely about the
seed.
As to the vitality of seeds, the follow.
ing table may be taken as correct, il
the seed has been well ripened and
saved in the condition usual with seeds.
